[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.  A top daycare uses DCPS curriculum, therefore = PS3
2.  Tuition/fees/fundraising at top Ward 3 daycare = $20k
3.  I live in Ward 3.  We and our neighbors are pushing for ps3 at our ES.

Equality in education is a 2 way street.   Can't ask Ward 3 parents to give up rights to their neighborhood MS and HS  without anttempting to mitigate some of the pain.

Not to quibble because it's still a lot of money, but for example, BCDC (a good daycare in Ward 3) has this tuition: http://www.bcdconline.org/tuition/

So just under $17k ...which includes a full day and the summer.  There are non extra fees and fundraising is minimal and not an expected thing whatsoever. [/quote]

So enter the lottery and send your kid to a school that's - horrors! - outside your ward.  The majority of parents in DC already do.  Do you think we ALL walk our kids down the street to our neighborhood DCPS or nearby charter school?  You are so totally out of touch.  Only ~25% of students enrolled in public schools in DC attend their "neighborhood" school.  So lottery to send your kid where you want to send him.  Don't like the choices around you?  Wake up!  Not so many of the rest of us do, either.

I hope the lottery gods are watching you and act accordingly. [/quote]

+1. Ward 3 parents are more than welcome for PK3 at my neighborhood school. We always have spots available at the start of the year.[/quote]
